Debt payoff tracker with 7 color-in charts that make progress visible
Turn every payment into a little color and watch your debt-free goal come closer.
Overview
This debt payoff tracker turns each payment into a small splash of color, using progress charts shaped like a thermometer, a 100 dollar block grid, circles, a house, a mountain and balloons. It also includes blank amount charts, a chart for several debts, a payment log and a milestones page.
The 14 undated pages come in US Letter and A4 as an instant PDF download.
Why a color-in debt payoff tracker keeps you going
Paying down debt often feels slow. Each chart splits your balance into small parts that you color as you pay, so a quick look at the fridge or your binder shows how far you have come.
Start fast with the 100 dollar blocks, or write your own amounts on the blank versions so any balance and any currency fits. The payment log and the extra money finder keep payments flowing, and you can print a new chart for each debt you take on.
Who this debt payoff tracker is for
- Anyone repaying a credit card, student loan, car loan or medical bill
- Visual thinkers who stay motivated by coloring in progress
- Followers of the debt snowball or avalanche who want one chart per debt
- Budget binder fans and anyone who wants an encouraging chart on the fridge
Design and printing
- Minimal, elegant white pages with soft blush pink details that save ink
- Wide margins on every sheet, so a home printer will not crop anything
- Portrait US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches, and A4, 210 by 297 mm
- Undated and flexible: add your own amounts on the blank charts so they suit any debt and currency
- Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have it spiral bound at a print shop
